HOW TO GIVE A
PRESENTATION
Elizabeth Brownlow
Rule #1:
Teamwork!
Exchange e-mails and
phone numbers
Meet. A lot.
Decide who is
responsible for
what.
Check in with
each other
frequently.
Make sure
everybody knows
due dates.
Create goal dates for
each part.
Practice, practice,
practice! Together.
Rule #2:
Focus
your topic
1. Pick only one aspect.
2. Ask a research question and set
out to answer it.
3. Too much information can be just
as harmful as too little information.
4. Sources should have to do with
your topic directly.
5. Each person’s work should
contribute to the presentation.
Research Questions:
 Who is my audience?
 What does my audience know
about my topic?
 What do I want my audience to
walk away knowing about my
topic?
 Where can I find the information I
want them to know?
Rule #3:
Be a
Detective
 Now you get to play detective and
find information! But, how?
 Tertiary Sources: A good place to
start
 Secondary Sources: Great for
synthesized information
 Primary Sources: Let’s get some
examples up in here!
Rule #4:
Organize
your
information
1. Step back and look at the
information you have gathered.
2. Classify it. (What is this source
about?)
3. Group together sources with the
same classifications.
Now you have topics!
4. Place your topics into a logical
order that will make sense to your
audience.
Organizational Thoughts…
 Do I have a thesis statement, as
well clear topic sentences?
 Does each topic have enough
information?
 Do my topics follow a logical
order? Or does the information
jump around with no clear
organization?
Rule #5:
Put the
‘Media’ in
Multimedia
 Choose one presentation tool as a
basis.
 Here are some really great ideas:
Thinglink PowToon
Visme Piktochart
 Once you’ve selected your base
presentation tool, use pictures,
videos, websites, illustrations,
charts, and graphics to support
each point you make.
 Remember, the goal is to catch the
audience’s attention without
overwhelming or distracting them
from your topics.
Rule #6:
Think
Practically
 Information Overload is a real thing
 Make sure all information supports
your main point
 Keep the audience’s attention
 Order things logically
Common Problems:
#1:
Dull
Presentatio
ns with way
too much
text
Common Problems
#2:
Distracting
Visuals
Common Problems
#3:
Lack of
focus
#4:
Lack of
organizatio
n
If I teach you nothing else…
Be prepared!!!
Check:
 Do your links/gifs/sounds/videos
work?
 Do you have back up link options?
 Do you have all of your information
saved to more than one place?
 Does your presentation make
sense?
 Is your presentation easy to use
and understand?

How to give a presentation

  • 1. HOW TO GIVE A PRESENTATION Elizabeth Brownlow
  • 2. Rule #1: Teamwork! Exchange e-mails and phone numbers Meet. A lot. Decide who is responsible for what. Check in with each other frequently. Make sure everybody knows due dates. Create goal dates for each part. Practice, practice, practice! Together.
  • 3. Rule #2: Focus your topic 1. Pick only one aspect. 2. Ask a research question and set out to answer it. 3. Too much information can be just as harmful as too little information. 4. Sources should have to do with your topic directly. 5. Each person’s work should contribute to the presentation.
  • 4. Research Questions:  Who is my audience?  What does my audience know about my topic?  What do I want my audience to walk away knowing about my topic?  Where can I find the information I want them to know?
  • 5. Rule #3: Be a Detective  Now you get to play detective and find information! But, how?  Tertiary Sources: A good place to start  Secondary Sources: Great for synthesized information  Primary Sources: Let’s get some examples up in here!
  • 6. Rule #4: Organize your information 1. Step back and look at the information you have gathered. 2. Classify it. (What is this source about?) 3. Group together sources with the same classifications. Now you have topics! 4. Place your topics into a logical order that will make sense to your audience.
  • 7. Organizational Thoughts…  Do I have a thesis statement, as well clear topic sentences?  Does each topic have enough information?  Do my topics follow a logical order? Or does the information jump around with no clear organization?
  • 8. Rule #5: Put the ‘Media’ in Multimedia  Choose one presentation tool as a basis.  Here are some really great ideas: Thinglink PowToon Visme Piktochart
  • 9.  Once you’ve selected your base presentation tool, use pictures, videos, websites, illustrations, charts, and graphics to support each point you make.  Remember, the goal is to catch the audience’s attention without overwhelming or distracting them from your topics.
  • 10. Rule #6: Think Practically  Information Overload is a real thing  Make sure all information supports your main point  Keep the audience’s attention  Order things logically
  • 15. If I teach you nothing else… Be prepared!!! Check:  Do your links/gifs/sounds/videos work?  Do you have back up link options?  Do you have all of your information saved to more than one place?  Does your presentation make sense?  Is your presentation easy to use and understand?
